'Maggot Cheese' top Newsweek's 'Forbidden Foods' list
Casu Marzu Maggot Cheese - This is a runny white cheese made by injecting Pecornio Sardo cheese with cheese-eating larvae. Eaters of the cheese risk intestinal larval infection and some other health hazards. The cheese cannot be sold legally in Italy although there are a few cities and towns where it can be found.
The U.S. has no laws against this cheese, maybe because nobody there wants to eat it. Casu Marzu Maggot Cheese - This is a runny white cheese made by injecting Pecornio Sardo cheese with cheese-eating larvae. Eaters of t... more -

Pussycat Dolls fined for acting like strippers who can't sing, oh wait...
The Pussycat Dolls have been fined £1,600 after one of their shows became too sexy. Authorities in Malaysia decided to enforce strict laws on what female performers can do on stage.
Under the country's Muslim laws, a female performer must be covered from her shoulders to her knees. During the show last July, Carmit Bachar, who has since left the group, exposed a breast while Ashley Roberts was accused of revealing her 'private parts'.

The Manoomin Project: Michigan teens, American Indians restore wild rice
(Marquette, Michigan) - The Manoomin Project is restoring wild rice to northern Michigan after the grain disappeared a century ago due to logging, pesticides and other manmade impact.
Over 100 at-risk teens are learning to respect themselves, nature and American Indian culture by planting more than one ton of wild rice during the past four summers. The teens also learn about social issues like racism against Native Americans.
The 2007 planting was delayed six weeks until November due to low water levels.
The teens first participate as part of juvenile court probation for minor crimes but many enjoy the project so much they return the next year.
Guides from several tribes volunteer to teach the teens how to take water samples, and about the historical and cultural importance of the grain that is used in many American Indian ceremonies.
The project was founded by the non-profit Cedar Tree Institute and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC).
Guides belong to KBIC, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa (Ottawa) Indians based in downstate Harbor Springs, Michigan, and the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa located close to International Falls, Minnesota near the Canadian border.
Rev. Jon Magnuson, project founder, praised the tribes for working with the teens, most of whom are white. The project includes classroom time, stress reduction exercises, and learning about social issues like prejudice against Native Americans.
In July 2007, the teens heard from Ojibwa elder and Vietnam War veteran Glen Bressette who explained he was the target of racism while their age and overcame problems familiar to the youth like substance abuse and scrapes with the law that included being shot at by police while stealing gas.
The teens witnessed Bressette have a dramatic flashback when a helicopter flew low and close to their meeting site along Lake Superior. He had been a gunner aboard a chopper in Vietnam.
American Indian guide Don Chosa said the teens carry hundreds of pounds of wild rice seeds for miles through thick forests and over mountains to get to seven secret remote planting sites along rivers and lakes. During the hikes, the teens have come upon bears, eagles and other wildlife.
An annual "Blessing of the Wild Rice" ceremony is held that includes American Indian food, songs, language, and prayers. If they want, the teens have the opportunity to learn about God and the environment but they are not forced to be be involved in any religious activities.

"Fat tax"
It's not what you think. Those crazy brits are considering a tax on salty, sugary and fatty foods. It's the same idea as taxing cigarettes and alcohol - if it's more expensive, maybe people will buy, and therefore eat, less of the stuff. The researchers at Oxford who published the study estimate that such a tax could save about 3,200 lives per year. Cakes, pastries, cheese and butter are targeted. Taxed or not, I love my cheese and butter! It's not what you think. Those crazy brits are considering a tax on salty, sugary and fatty foods. It's the same idea as taxing ciga... more
